Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
Then I felt the cold metal chains around my wrists and the burning that the silver invoked.
Silver was a werewolfs weakness, and I knew before I even opened my eyes that I wouldnt be able to channel my wolf or send out a mindlink to anyone in my pack.
I also knew that I was in danger.
A slight memory came back to me, and I remember running and laughing with Irene by my side.
Was Irene here with me? Did she somehow set me up? Maybe she didnt believe me when I told her that nothing was going on between Ethan and me.
Maybe this was part of her plan ; to make sure the guards didnt follow us so she could kidnap me and possibly kill me.
Another memory resurfaced and I remembered watching Irene fall to the ground after a man attacked her.
He stabbed her in the neck with a syringe and she passed out immediately.
My heart hammered in my chest, and I knew my breathing was unsteady.
I tried to keep it steady just in case I wasnt alone wherever I was.
I could hear the light whispers from some men nearby and I tried to channel my wolf so I could hear better, but to no prevail.
However, their voices grew louder as their footsteps neared.
I might not have my wolf senses, but the moment they were close enough, I could smell them.
It was the same sickly scent from before.
Rogues.
I thought we were only paid to capture one girl, one of the rogues asked in a harsh whisper.
So, well ask for more money, another said with a dark chuckle.
Who are they anyways? I dont fucking know.
I didnt ask questions.
He gave me a price and I told him no problein, another rogue muttered.
Im starving ; lets get some food while we wait for them to wake up.
Itll probably be a while.
We used a lot of wolfsbane.
They sauntered off ; the sounds of their shoes growing more distant and then I heard the opening and shutting of a door, along with a lock.
So far, telling from their voices, there were 3 of them.
But I remembered there being more than that before I passed out.
I opened my eyes and immediately knew that I was in a dark cellar.
I lifted my head, ignoring the pounding of my temple.
It seemed I was in a large cage of some sort, like a caged animal.
I felt myself growing more furious by the second.
I looked around, trying to get my bearings, but it was hard to see without my wolfs natural abilities guiding me.
But I was able to see clearly enough to know that I wasnt alone.
My heart sank when I saw Irene lying next to me, completely passed out.
She had a gash on her head from when she fell to the ground, and she was looking so pale.
Irene … I croaked, crawling over to her.
I winced as the metal around my wrists burned into my flesh.
I touched her cold cheek and felt a surge of panic rushing towards me.
I felt around her neck for a pulse and when I found a faint one, I let out a breath of relief.
I brushed her blood soaked hair out of her face.
Please, wake up, I whispered.
We have to get out of here.
The problem was, I had no idea how we were going to leave here.
I knew one thing for sure ; these men thought I was still passed out and they werent going to do anything until we were both awake, which meant I had to act like I was asleep when I heard them returning.
I rested my back against the wall and took a deep and shaky breath, coughing slightly at the musky feel of the dusty air.
I wasnt sure how I was able to recover from the wolfsbane so quickly, but I knew Irene would probably be asleep for a while.
I reached for her slowly sliding her across the floor so her head could be rested on my lap.
I slowly stroked her hair, humming softly to her.
I didnt want her to be afraid when she woke up.
Im not sure how long we remained like that for ; there were no windows and there was no clock, so I had no idea what time it was.
But I know it had to have been hours at least.
I was groggy and my head was bobbing up and down when I heard the shoes approaching.
I quickly scooted Irene off my lap, so her head was rested on the ground again and then I rested my head beside hers, closing my eyes.
They are still out? One of the guys asked, peeking into the cage.
Looks that way, another muttered, Its late ; we might as well just do this tomorrow.
He wanted it done tonight, the other rogue muttered.
Yeah, but he made it clear that he wanted her to be awake and to know why she was being killed.
He wants it recorded so he could have it as evidence, he reminded his buddy.
And the other one? Well call it a bonus, the rogue laughed.
Lets get some sleep and return here tomorrow.
They walked away again.
Once the door was shut, I opened my eyes and let out a shaky breath.
I looked down at Irene to see that she was still sleeping.
I counted the minutes until she woke and when I felt her hand twitching by my side, I let out another breath.
She was finally waking up ; I wont be alone in here and we can figure out what to do.
